Abstract
Objectives: Thoracic aortic infections are a deadly disease. Homografts are considered the gold standard to replace the affected aorta. However, availability is limited and long term results may be limited by homograft degeneration. Pericardial tube grafts have been suggested as an alternative. Biological valved pericardial conduits are commercially available. We reviewed our data on pericardial tube graft implantations.
